A perspective, that is all.
The Secret Sway
I've seen you tread
to this tune before,
a sprawling waltz
that spins you
'round and 'round
as your mind
remains stagnant
on one thing alone.
Yet,
I must wonder
if, as you prance
about the dance floor,
you've forgotten
that a partner is required
for all your frolicking.
Again and again,
you call his name,
but in a whisper,
so quiet and secret
that even you
can hardly hear it.
You seem so proud
of the words you proclaim,
so why hide them
behind guises and song?
Show him the you
I knew long ago,
and surely we can start
the music once more
for a sweeping strut,
the two of you
so enthralled in the steps
that you hardly remember
a time beyond here and now.
I just don't want to see you
try and dip yourself
with no one to hold you up.
